Background: Trends in hospitalised case-fatality risk (HFR), risk of intensive care unit (ICU) admission and lengths of stay for patients hospitalised for COVID-19 in England over the pre-vaccination era are unknown. Methods: Data on hospital and ICU admissions with COVID-19 at 31 NHS trusts in England were collected by Public Health England's Severe Acute Respiratory Infections surveillance system and linked to death information. We applied parametric multi-state mixture models, accounting for censored outcomes and regressing risks and times between events on month of admission, geography, and baseline characteristics. Findings: 20,785 adults were admitted with COVID-19 in 2020. Between March and June/July/August estimated HFR reduced from 31.9 30.3-33.5 September to 25.7 patients, those with multi-morbidity and outside London/South of England. ICU admission risk reduced from 13.9 May, rising to a high of 14.2 in non-critical care increased during 2020, from 6.6 to 12.3 days for those dying, and from 6.1 to 9.3 days for those discharged. Interpretation: Initial improvements in patient outcomes, corresponding to developments in clinical practice, were not sustained throughout 2020, with HFR in December approaching the levels seen at the start of the pandemic, whilst median hospital stays have lengthened. The role of increased transmission, new variants, case-mix and hospital pressures in increasing COVID-19 severity requires urgent further investigation.
